Being a stat man keeps me busy and I don’t have the time to provide scoring updates or answer questions on Twitter and Facebook, but it is actually something that I want to do and I will try my best to achieve it for everyone.   Last night, I took my first road trip of the…

Week 0 for High School Football starts tomorrow and I am super excited!!!   I am ready to crunch numbers, smell the grass and food, hear the sounds of the bands, the fans, and the players,  watch spectacular plays by amazing players, and witness firsthand the plethora of personalities in the press-box.  I can’t wait to start handing…

I read a press release in 2009 on the San Antonio Express News that KMYS was going to be broadcasting Thursday night high school football games on television.  I was excited and wanted to become the statistician. Even though I have made a lot of football contacts over the years, I didn’t know anybody at the station or know…

High School football season starts in 19 days, so I thought I would share how I got started as statistician for radio.  I was the Manager of the Clark high school basketball team from 1991-1995.
